I don't get this Ommadawn remaster stuff. It was high tech enough, and already remastered....or cleaned up for CD years ago. I'm thinking this trend of "OK Tubularians, I'm gonna remix all my old albums" needs to end. It's time for fresh material. HR was cleaned up enough by some guy named Bartosik(sp) and me. Ommadawn is fine, so is Incantations. Focus on new material. Please. If MO is still tinkering with software and instruments, it's time to move on......Gimme something new. Not trying to be ugly......just move on..........The rarities are getting old. Get some inspiration from that oceanic experience and compose. "QE2 2" Or have a woman sing DH Lawrence "Whales weep not" to marimbas, synths and guitars. Here's the lyrics:
They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains
the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.
All the whales in the wider deeps, hot are they, as they urge
on and on, and dive beneath the icebergs.
The right whales, the sperm-whales, the hammer-heads, the killers
there they blow, there they blow, hot wild white breath out of the sea!
And they rock, and they rock, through the sensual ageless ages
on the depths of the seven seas,
and through the salt they reel with drunk delight
and in the tropics tremble they with love
and roll with massive, strong desire, like gods.
Then the great bull lies up against his bride
in the blue deep of the sea
as mountain pressing on mountain, in the zest of life:
and out of the inward roaring of the inner red ocean of whale blood
the long tip reaches strong, intense, like the maelstrom-tip, and comes to rest
in the clasp and the soft, wild clutch of a she-whale's fathomless body.
And over the bridge of the whale's strong phallus, linking the wonder of whales
the burning archangels under the sea keep passing, back and forth,
keep passing archangels of bliss
from him to her, from her to him, great Cherubim
that wait on whales in mid-ocean, suspended in the waves of the sea
great heaven of whales in the waters, old hierarchies.
And enormous mother whales lie dreaming suckling their whale-tender young
and dreaming with strange whale eyes wide open in the waters of the beginning and the end.
And bull-whales gather their women and whale-calves in a ring
when danger threatens, on the surface of the ceaseless flood
and range themselves like great fierce Seraphim facing the threat
encircling their huddled monsters of love.
and all this happiness in the sea, in the salt
where God is also love, but without words:
and Aphrodite is the wife of whales
most happy, happy she!
and Venus among the fishes skips and is a she-dolphin
she is the gay, delighted porpoise sporting with love and the sea
she is the female tunny-fish, round and happy among the males
and dense with happy blood, dark rainbow bliss in the sea.
The part "And they Rock and they Rock"......at that point speed tempo and add overdubbed guitars. Food for thought old friend.....I'm hearing the finished product in my head. And it is good.

Crying to heaven
And will our voices be heard
Or will they break Like the wind
